Description

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense has taken steps forward, but Christopher Carter sees key areas to improve if they're to rise to be a complete unit. Chris takes you to the Steelers' facility in a media scrum with defensive coordinator Teryl Austin who revealed why their primary focus right now is their 3rd down and red zone defenses. Could those be the key areas that the Steelers need to improve to be an elite defense? Also, Chris gives you his week 5 NFL picks, including predictions for the AFC North with the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns all playing tough opponents this weekend.
